Putting Health Care on Center Stage: Standing on the stage in George Washington University’s (GW’s) Jack Morton Auditorium in February, Sens. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) debated the state of the U.S. health care system.
Although the lawmakers did not agree on much throughout the debate, they were able to have a frank and open discussion about the Affordable Care Act’s future.
“It was nice and refreshing for neither side to be yelling, but simply stating the facts and their positions,” said John Marin, a first-year M.D. student at GW. “I definitely appreciate GW holding all these talks.”
During the almost two-hour debate, Cruz and Sanders spoke about the role of the government in health care and the future of Medicare.
